To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.
~ Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970)

Once what you are doing has for you meaning, it is irrelevant whether you’re happy or unhappy. You are content – you are not alone in your Spirit – you belong.
